Roger Gaetani is an editor, writer, translator, producer and educator who is deeply concerned about the education of children especially since becoming a grandfather. Born in New York, Gaetani went to college at Syracuse University and Indiana University. He spent a number of years in Morocco and Saudi Arabia as a teacher. While there, and in travels through other countries in Africa and Asia, he gained an appreciation for traditional cultures, thought, and art. As an educator and developer of educational materials and programs for many years, Gaetani seeks to publish materials that edify, inspire, and lead to individual growth.

He is currently working on a children’s book about Tierno Bokar, an African Sufi master who was remarkable for his universalist attitudes and tolerance towards orthodox religions. Gaetani is editor of the teen book, A Spirit of Tolerance: The Inspiring Life of Tierno Bokar by Amadou Hampâté Bâ. He is also co-editor, with Jean-Louis Michon, of the World Wisdom anthology Sufism: Love and Wisdom, translator (from the original French) of Introduction to Sufism: The Inner Path of Islam, by Eric Geoffroy, and he is also director and producer of the DVD highlights of the 2006 conference on Traditionalism, entitled  Tradition in the Modern World: Sacred Web 2006 Conference.
